Community Interaction

Page Content

​Together with Research and Education, Community Service has been one of the corner-stones on which Stellenbosch University's Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences was established more than a half a century ago.

​A Faculty such as ours is by its very nature an integral part of the society in which it operates - in particular through the delivery of clinical services. However, we have recognised right from the start that, given the disease profile and health needs of our country and continent, community interaction in our context demands a much stronger commitment as well as a much broader definition.
